BISCUITS AND GRAVY CASSEROLE

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole image

Found this recipe for Biscuits and Gravy Casserole on a blog and thought the idea sounds genius as we are biscuits and gravy kinda folks 'round here. Everyone raved. Would be a nice dish to make for Mother's Day brunch or for 'brinnner'. Note: there is a similar recipe on Pillsbury website, but uses a packet of gravy mix.
